Weddings, Proposal and Love: Please don't do this

Please don't do this

Today, I took my girlfriend of five and a half years to family dinner at a restaurant. After we all had finished dessert, I got down on one knee, pulled out my great grandmother's ring and proposed. The entire restaurant was dead silent. She looked around and then slowly walked out. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a very nice restaurant. I thought it would be a good place to pop the question. I gave the ring to the waiter and asked him to put it on her dessert plate. When she saw it she picked it up, put it down and said "no". Then she started to eat the dessert. FML

Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. FML

Today, I decided to pop the question to my beloved. Perfect lighting, fresh cut roses, a fancy dinner. The restaurant was in on it too. Shame they brought out the wedding-themed congratulations dessert before I actually went down on my knee. FML

Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML

Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend of three years proposed to me. He brought me to our favorite restaurant and ordered expensive champagne. It was all very romantic, until he got on one knee and I farted out of surprise. Loudly. FML

Today, I proposed to the love of my life by having the waitress place the ring in her dessert. She ate the whole thing and didn't find the ring. I guess the waitress stole the ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date to an expensive restaurant. After the meal, he got down on his knee and proposed. We've only been dating for two weeks, so I said no. He just silently kept staring me in the eyes, no matter what I said or did. I ended up having to walk home. FML

Wow I'm so sorry. Have you gotten an explanation? You'd think after 5 1/2 years she'd shout YES.

I agree, most people only wait a couple months nowadays to get married. 5 1/2 yrs of dating (which dating is the begining stage of picking someone to possibly marry) and she never considered your thoughts on marriage or expected you to do something like that? she was probably really nervous or had someone else 80% of the time and was just using you o.O

I am SO sorry OP. I would have leaped into your arms and said "of course!" after 5 1/2 years! I'm still waiting on my boyfriend of 6 1/2 years and I really wouldn't care if it was at the OG or McDs I would have said yes all the same. again so sorry OP :(

How much longer are YOU planning to wait for him to make up his mind about you?

well, he's got a year left of nursing school. I mentioned it once and he said "it's my job and it's also the one thing I get to do and have control over. I'll propose when it's ideally perfect." he hasn't mentioned it again in a year HA.

46, you chose the absolute worst site to post that on - you have an account, which means you're supposed to know what the website is about. Clearly, there's some subtlety about it. Is it the massive banner at the top of the site?

So, ignorance... Are you really bliss? I have always wanted to know that.

@56: What is ignorant is your spelling, you uneducated dumb-ass.

@97 I don't really see anything wrong with her spelling (saving her sarcastic example sentence of course). Although I could have missed something, I am not the worlds best speller myself. However I think it is more likely that you in fact missed her point.

Why does anyone post on FML? Who knows? Who cares? In the end it amuses the masses and maybe they feel a little better for putting it out there. Like therapy, they say the most important part of therapy is just being able to get the issue off your chest. For some it may be that they have a great sense of humor and are able to laugh at their own misfortune along with the rest of us.
